freaky. herbie used to be the man. he's done it all from traditional
jazz to electronic experimentation. "secrets" is a super-funky
album, frequently sampled by many. "future shock" is an electro
classic. "headhunters" ... the list just goes on and on. the guy is
a genius.
the last album i heard from him is "this is the drum" which has a
little bit of commercial cheese but also a lot of very nice
programming and playing. i can't believe anyone would lump him in
with kenny g.
on now: "fifth element" soundtrack
